Running a successful event isn’t just about selling tickets—it’s about knowing whether you’re actually making a profit. That’s where Budgeting comes in. This tool gives organizers a clear financial picture by tracking revenue, expenses, and profitability all in one place. With instant insights and auto-generated reports, you can make smarter decisions before, during, and after your event.
What is Budgeting?
Budgeting is a built-in financial dashboard in your Organizer Portal that lets you:
Track ticket revenue (from Posh + off-platform sales).
Add and manage expenses.
See projected and maximum profit.
Generate instant Profit & Loss (P&L) statements.
This shifts the focus from ticket sales alone to true profitability.
How It Works
Go to your Event Page in the Organizer Portal.
Click the Budgeting tab.
At the top, review:
Current Revenue
Total Expenses
Projected Profit
Maximum Profit
Add line items:
Expenses (venue, marketing, staff, etc.)
Off-Platform Revenues (sponsorships, outside sales, bar/merch).
Switch between views:
Budgeting – Manage expenses and revenues.
Analytics – Breakdown of costs (unlocks once expenses are added).
Profit & Loss – Auto-generated statement showing net income.
Why It’s Valuable
Profit-Focused → See if you’re truly making money, not just moving tickets.
Centralized → Revenue + expenses live in one place.
Smarter Decisions → Adjust pricing, spending, and marketing in real time.
Professional Reporting → Download a one-click P&L for sponsors, partners, or investors.
Best Practices for Organizers
Enter all expenses early (venue, performers, security, permits) for an accurate projected profit.
Update as you go—don’t wait until after the event.
Add off-platform revenue like bar sales, sponsorships, or merch for a complete picture.
Use the Analytics tab to see which categories drive your costs.
Share the Profit & Loss download with your team to keep everyone aligned.
✨ With Budgeting, you’re not just tracking sales—you’re building a clear path to profitability.
